In his speech, Sheng Qiuping said that Finland was one of the first Western countries to establish diplomatic ties with New China, and it was also the first Western country to sign an intergovernmental trade agreement with China.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Finland. The friendly relations between the two countries have been deepening.
In the post-epidemic period, the two sides should further tap the potential of bilateral trade, further improve trade convenience, jointly explore markets, and increase the total volume and quality of bilateral trade.
To further strengthen the two-way investment, welcome Finnish enterprises to continue to expand their investment in Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Province has also issued policies to encourage the provincial enterprises to “go out”.
We should further promote innovation cooperation between the two sides, constantly deepen cross-border industrial chain cooperation, work together to break through artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies, and create greater business opportunities for enterprises of both sides.
He Langming said in his speech that in recent years, Finland’s import and export to China have maintained steady and rapid growth, and China has become Finland’s fourth largest trading partner in the world.
Finland and Zhejiang have a long-term friendship and cooperation. This business docking activity provides a good opportunity to promote the economic and trade cooperation between Finland and Zhejiang. Finland’s high-quality products and innovative technologies will meet the growing needs of enterprises and consumers in Zhejiang.
The Finnish Consulate General will make joint efforts with enterprises to listen to needs, timely connect with partners and actively promote cooperation between the two sides to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
